A cool breeze blew, flying the petals of cherry blossoms that were waiting. The chirping of birds as well as the soothing scent of dew accompanied Akane who was waiting for her best friend.
"Yes, Shuu!" Sapa Akane who was already standing in front of the gate of Shuu's house.
"Akane, are you okay?"
"Hm, I'm sorry yesterday I suddenly came home and didn't tell you"
"No problem. Thank goodness you're okay."
"Hm."
Awkwardness runs throughout Akane's body. Regardless of what happened last night, he was completely disappointed in himself. He realized what he had done was a mistake and something unfounded. He has decided to always support Shuu's decisions both about himself and about Kyudo.
"Shuu," call Akane to stop her steps.
"Hm?"
"I'm sorry.."
There was clearly regret on Akane's face and confusion on Shuu's face. Netra they met each other without understanding the reason behind those eyes.
"For what?" Shuu asked confusedly.
"Etto, ano, I.."
"What's wrong? It's not like the Akane I know. Is there another English test today?"
The sapphire netra is rounded. A faint smile slowly painted on her sweet lips.
Is correct. What have I actually done? Shuu hasn't changed, I'm the weird one here.
"Hm, that's how it is" Akane smiled.
"Why are you smiling so happily?"
"Eh? Can't you?"
Shuu shook his head slowly. "That's better" he said, smiling.
"Place me for today's test Shuu, please" Akane's whine put her hands together.
"With all the reasons, of course I can't do it" Shuu said with a calm face.
"Shuu!!" rengek Akane is back.
"You just need to remember what you learned. You can do it."
"Do you believe me?"
"Of course." Shuu replied smiling.
Unlike a moment ago, now there was only a sweet smile that adorned the faces of the two of them.
"Ah right too. You have to treat me, Shuu. What's his name huh? Is it a tax?" Akane was confused.
Shuu was silent for a moment.
"I don't understand what you mean."
"Ehh?! Isn't that normal after his friend gets a lover?"
Shuu was once again speechless with his usual calm face. He said nothing, just staring at Akane's sapphire netra.
"Is that so?"
"A-ah no, no. I was just kidding Shuu. Your confused face is very funny" Akane smiled.
"Huh?"
"No, there's no. Forget Shuu, Shiragiku-san is waiting for you. I went to class first, see you" Akane said, waving her hand.
The violet Netra smiled faintly at the manner of her best friend. Shuu then walked up to Shiragiku Noa who was waiting for him in front of the school building.
"Good morning" said Shiragiku Noa.
"Good morning. Let's go to class."
...****...
"Yo Shuu!" Sapa Akane right after Shuu dropped out of her class. "Shiragiku-san too."
"You're fast too huh, Hanamura-san" Noa smiled.
"Hm, that's how it is" Akane replied who was also smiling.
"How's the test?" Shuu asked looking at Akane.
"As usual, it's very difficult. But I think I've made some progress, Shuu. Today I got a 76, great, right?" Akane said proudly. His eyes sparkled as if he wanted to get praise from this interlocutor.
The violet Netra was silent for a moment before finally a faint smile expanded on her calm face.
"I'm not mocking you. Otemachi, Akane. You've worked hard. Although it only rose by 4 points, but it was progress" Shuu smiled.
"Shiragiku-san too, say something" Akane's pinta looked at the Shiragiku girl.
"Etto, a-ah, otsukaresama Akane."
"You said more sincerely than Shuu, thank you Shiragiku-san" Akane smiled.
"What the fuck?" Shuu asked with a faint smile.
...****...
"What'sthis? Shuu is a harem?" Manji asks after seeing Shuu who came to the club with Akane and Shiragiku Noa.
"It must be a harem" Senichi said.
"Harems?" Akane asked confusedly.
"Have you arrived yet? Sen, Man, Shuu, Shiragiku-san, quickly change your clothes, we will start the training immediately" Motomura's head told everyone.
"Today too, please help senpai" Akane said bowing her body to the Chairman.
"We also ask for his help, Hanamura" the Chairman smiled.
"I'll sit in the usual place, the spirit of the training is all" Akane waved her hand before she went to the bleachers.
Akane sits quietly in the stands, but her sapphire netra cannot hide her burning passion to see Shuu's training and Kyudo club.
Seconds by seconds passed. The minutes had turned into hours, Akane's spirit began to extinguish.
Today as well, I can't listen to tsurune Shuu any longer.
The sapphire netra is inseparable from the figure of Shuu who continues to teach Shiragiku Noa shooting. During these few days, both at school and at Saionji-sensei's dojo, Shuu always spent more time training to teach Noa to practice so that Akane could not listen to her favorite tsurune.
"Today too I can't listen to your tsurune, Shuu" Akane muttered with a faint smile.
Silent, there was no reply from the owner of the chocolate mane.
"I want to hear your tsurune. Please practice as usual tonight, okay?" Pinta Akane with sparkling eyes.
"Hm, I think I'll do it. Noa is also better than before" Shuu smiled.
"Hm, I'll wait for him. I'm really impatient, Shuu" Akane smiled.
Shuu's steps come to a halt at an accessories store they pass by.
"What's wrong?" Akane asked confusedly.
"I'll stop by for a while" Shuu said then entered the store.
"A-ah hm, I'll wait for you here" Akane said a little shouting.
The sapphire netra looked at Shuu's back in wonder.
Tumben once Shuu stopped by the accessories store. What's for his sister? Or maybe Shiragiku-san?
A while later.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long" Shuu said, approaching Akane. A faint smile expanded on Shuu's calm face.
"It's been"
"For you," Shuu gave Akane a small paper bag.
"Eh?"
"Get it" Shuu said.
"Eh? Wh why? I don't think it's my birthday, do you?"
"Hm, your birthday is still a long time. You said that, didn't you? What taxes are that"
The sapphire's eyes widened in surprise.
"Eeeehhh?! I was just kidding Shuu, I didn't mean it. That's not true Shuu, I'm sorry."
Instead of being angry or upset, Shuu smiles at Akane's behavior.
"It's okay, Akane. You also managed to raise your test scores, right? I rarely treat you anyway" Shuu smiled.
"But I feel very guilty to you, Shuu. I don't deserve it. Please forgive me" Akane bowed respectfully. His face was slightly reddened with embarrassment. Akane had no idea that Shuu would do something like this to serve her joke.
"I told you, didn't I? It's okay, it's a gift from me. Take it" Shuu said, grabbing Akane's hand and putting the paper bag in her hand. "Take it" he said smiling.
"Etto, sorry Shuu. Thank you very much" Akane muttered looking at the violet netra that was shining under that orange sky.
"Together."
